Swallowing the Stars: The Birth of a Cosmic God King

The news of the Realm Lord's succession has spread throughout the entire Realm Within a Realm.

The words "Flower of Flame," "Top 10,000," and "Ten Days to Go" burned in everyone's minds.

Yan Ning stood on the edge of the crater, watching the occasional flashes of fire in the gray fog and listening to the sounds of battle coming from afar.

"The legacy of a realm lord? Revenge? Inheriting a legacy?"

Yan Ning frowned slightly.

This will surely unleash a bloodbath, and he will not be able to remain unscathed.

Just then.

A violent fluctuation suddenly emanated from the inner world.

The King of Cloud Vine is restless.

Seventy-two vines stretched wildly within the body's inner world, each hundreds of kilometers long, with golden veins flowing through them.

The surface of the vines began to crack, and the dark golden old skin peeled off, revealing the silvery-white new material underneath.

On the new material, a spiral pattern is faintly visible.

Star-eating grass.

That's the unique bloodline mark of the Star-Eating Grass!

The aura of the King of Cloud Vine was rising at a visible speed.

He progressed from the first tier of the cosmic level to the middle tier of the first tier, the late tier of the first tier, and finally managed to stabilize at the peak of the first tier.

But what's truly terrifying isn't the intensity of the aura, but the qualitative change!

【King of Cloud-Piercing Vine】:

Through bloodline mutation, it evolved to possess the bloodline abilities of the Star-Eating Grass. With both abilities combined, its resistance to abnormal external forces is greatly enhanced.

At its current strength, a first-tier cosmic-level being can rival a sixth-tier cosmic-level being, immune to all physical attacks below the third-tier cosmic-level being, and possessing mimicry abilities.

......

Yan Ning couldn't help but laugh.

"This time it's really happening!"

Star-Eating Grass, the universally acknowledged "devourer" of the universe, boasts unparalleled destructive power among its peers and possesses an almost abnormal ability to adapt to extreme environments.

The most outstanding features of the Moyun Vine are regeneration and division.

Two abilities combined in one person.

A perfect blend of offense and defense, pushed to the extreme!

Yan Ning stretched out his hand, and a vine emerged from his collar. The silvery-white vine had spiral patterns flowing on its surface and was almost transparent in the gray mist.

It has the ability to mimic its surroundings and blend into its environment.

"Go."

The vines silently reached into the gray mist.

In the distance, three Rank 9 Fire Beasts of the Eternal Star level were roaming along the lava river.

They were completely unaware of the impending danger as the silvery-white vines had already wrapped around their necks.

Tighten.

absorb!

In less than three breaths, the three-headed fire beast turned into a dried corpse, and its score jumped three levels.

The vines retracted, leaving no trace.

This is just the beginning!

......

Despite the fierce fighting, if you hide it well, your points will only spread within a small circle and will not become known to everyone.

Based on this.

It also provides a lot of room for manipulation for many individual players or factions.

But everything changed on the third day.

Day three.

The moment the points rankings appeared, the air in the Fire Dock Realm suddenly froze.

A screen of light appeared before everyone's eyes, displaying two hundred thousand names densely packed on it.

The top-ranked names were highlighted in gold, purple, and crimson, resembling conspicuous targets in the gray fog.

The first 10,000 names are displayed in pale gold.

The first thousand names are displayed in reddish gold.

The top 100 names are in a purplish-gold hue, their intense light almost piercing through the gray mist.

The top ten names, displayed in dark gold, flowed slowly through everyone's field of vision.

And first place.

Yan Ning.

Those two words were like a sharp sword hanging over everyone's heads.

Score: 1482.

The second-place Mordora only has 261!

……

Chifeng Mercenary Group Camp.

Chi Hu stared at the name in his field of vision, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Yan Ning? Which faction does he belong to?"

Chi Hu could not imagine that a single person could kill more than 1400 eternal star-level ninth-tier fire beasts in just three days!

Even though they were prepared, killing a single Flame Beast at the ninth level of the Hengxing realm was by no means an easy task!

Poisonous fire, raging flames, high temperatures, lava, etc., can all severely affect one's actions!

The adjutant quickly searched the local database, then shook his head: "Can't find it. He's not a core member of any major power, nor is he on any known list of geniuses."

"A rogue cultivator?" Red Tiger's brows furrowed.

"He doesn't seem like a purely independent cultivator. His registration information shows he's from... an unknown star region of the Blacktan Empire?"

Silence fell over the camp.

The Chifeng Mercenary Group's reserve force of over three thousand men had only its strongest members ranked in the top five hundred.

Red Tiger himself, number 326.

The other person is alone and ranked first.

"Could it be that we just got lucky? Did we find some shortcut to farm points?" someone whispered.

Red Tiger gave him a cold look: "Why don't you give it a try? Let's see if you're lucky enough to kill over 1,400 Fire Beasts?"

The man promptly shut up.

The Flame Beast isn't stupid; it won't stand still and let itself be killed.

Each Flame Beast is equivalent to a ninth-level martial artist of the Constant Star level; they possess intelligence, tactics, the ability to escape, and the capacity to call for help.

Killing one is not difficult, killing ten requires strength, and killing a hundred requires overwhelming strength.

Killed more than 1,400...

Red Tiger dared not think any further.

"Pass down the order: do not provoke that man named Yan Ning for the time being," Chi Hu finally gave the order.

"Once we obtain the Realm Lord's inheritance, we'll deal with him!"

……

Iron Hand Family Camp.

Iron Bone Mountain stared at that name, remaining silent for a long time.

"Deputy Commander, should we send someone to make contact? If we could win over this kind of person..." the adjutant tentatively suggested.

"Win them over?"

Iron Bone Mountain sneered, "Who do you think he is? He's number one with over 1,400 heads."

Such people are either core disciples of some immortal force who are hiding their identities to gain experience, or monsters with heaven-defying opportunities.

What incentives do you think we can offer to win him over?

The adjutant was speechless.

"Pass down the order: if you encounter this person, give way."

The sound from Ironbone Mountain was very calm.

But everyone could sense the apprehension in their voices.

"He is not our goal. Our goal is to inherit the throne of the Realm Lord. We just need to make sure we get into the top 1000 as much as possible."

He paused for a moment, then added, "Tell the people below to behave themselves and not to be foolish enough to provoke him."

Whoever causes trouble, they'll have to deal with it themselves; the family won't be there to collect their corpse!

……

Void Order camp.

A hoarse voice rang out from beneath the black cloak.

"Yan Ning... is interesting."

The speaker was the true leader of the Void Order on this trip, a mysterious figure codenamed "Shadow".

No one knows his true identity, or even whether he is male or female.

"Master, should we..." The follower next to him made a throat-slitting gesture.

"No." The shadow shook its head. "There's something about this person that I can't see through. Provoking him would come at too high a price."

The believer was stunned.

The Shadow Lord actually said the words "the price is too high"?

"but…"

The believer hesitated for a moment, "It seems that the Illusion Heart Clan has a past grudge against this person. Several Illusion Heart Clan teams were wiped out by him before."

The shadows remained silent for a moment, then let out a meaningful low laugh.

"Then let them scout ahead and tell Mo Lin that the Void Order can provide him with intelligence support, but will not participate in direct conflict."

"yes!"
